How Does An Adoption Agency Help To Make The Process Easier?

Adoption Agency

Choosing adoption takes strength, love, and courage. But you do not have to go through it alone. An adoption agency is there to guide you every step of the way. If you are from Florida and planning to give your baby up for adoption, contact Adoption by Shepherd Care.

 We are the oldest adoption agency in Florida. Our staff has 100+ years of combined experience and specializes in offering personalized service. Our team has the proper knowledge and understanding to guide you. We want to make the adoption process faster, smoother, and better for you.

ASC: The Most Trusted Adoption Agency In Florida

Free, Confidential Counseling From Day One

From the moment you reach out, you will have access to free counseling. Adoption by Shepherd Care connects birth mothers with licensed counselors who specialize in adoption. These professionals do not judge. They listen.

You can talk through your feelings, ask hard questions, and work through your options all in a safe, private space. This kind of emotional support is not offered by every agency. At Adoption by Shepherd Care, it is a promise.

You Choose the Adoptive Family

One of the most meaningful parts of working with Adoption by Shepherd Care is that you get to choose the family for your child. You will be given profiles of carefully screened adoptive families. You can read about their lives, values, and hopes for their future child.

This gives you control during a time when so much can feel beyond your control. Many birth mothers say this step brings them peace. Knowing their child will be loved and cared for by a family they personally chose makes a big difference.

Open, Closed, or Semi-Open Adoption — Your Choice

Not every birth mother wants the same thing. Some want to stay in contact with their child as they grow up. Others need a clean break to heal. Many fall somewhere in between.

Adoption by Shepherd Care supports all types of adoption arrangements:

  • Open adoption – You stay in contact with the child and adoptive family through letters, photos, calls, or visits.
  • Semi-open adoption – You receive updates through the agency without direct contact.
  • Closed adoption – All identifying information stays private on both sides.

There is no pressure to choose one path over another. The agency helps you think through what will work best for your life.

Financial Support During Pregnancy

Adoption by Shepherd Care offers financial assistance to eligible birth mothers. This can cover:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rent
  • Maternity clothing
  • Transportation Cost
  • Maternity Clothing
  • Groceries

Support That Does Not Stop After Placement

Adoption by Shepherd Care offers post-placement counseling and support for birth mothers. This means you have access to help long after the process is complete. Many agencies stop supporting mothers once the adoption is finalized. Shepherd Care does not.

Take the First Step Today

You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Adoption by Shepherd Care welcomes birth mothers who are still exploring their options. There is no pressure. No commitment. Just a caring team ready to answer your questions.

Call Adoption by Shepherd Care at: 954-981-2060 or 407-265-9599 to get the support you deserve.

Official Statement from
Adoption by Shepherd Care

It has come to our attention that the Hulu series Good American Family contains inaccurate information regarding Adoption by Shepherd Care (ASC) and the adoption of Natalia. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts.

Contrary to what is presented in the documentary, ASC did not initiate any communication or have any involvement with Mr. or Mrs. Barnett in connection to Natalia’s adoption. The legal adoption process for Natalia was completed in the state of New Hampshire, where the original adoptive family resided, and was facilitated through a New Hampshire-based agency—not Adoption by Shepherd Care.

For those seeking further clarification, we encourage you to watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Season 2, Episode 1, which clearly states that Adoption by Shepherd Care was not the agency responsible for facilitating this adoption.

We want to express our respect for all agencies and professionals engaged in this vital work. However, it is essential that accurate information is shared with the public and that the correct entities are acknowledged for their role in any adoption process.

At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we remain steadfast in our mission to place children in safe, loving, and permanent homes. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethical practice, and compassion for the children and families we serve.

We respectfully request that the media and members of the public refrain from further spreading misinformation related to this matter. While we understand the interest in this case, we also urge respect for the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. Adoption is a deeply personal and emotional journey that must be approached with sensitivity and integrity.

Adoption by Shepherd Care will continue its unwavering commitment to finding loving and permanent placements for children, guided by the principles of honesty, compassion, and respect.
